EMMA DOLAN INTERVIEW:

What did you want to be when you grew up?
“I always wanted to be a doctor or an archeologist/paleontologist. I guess in a way I have combined the two. Medicine and the study of human interactions with the world is very much what Chinese Medicine is!”

What 2020 has taught you about your business, or being an entrepreneur in general?
“It has taught me that you have to always be prepared for changes or surprises. To never expect business to be predictable. It taught me to prepare for the worst, and also to expect the most amazing surprises! I never thought I would have to close down my business for 3 months, but I was even more surprised about how busy I became once I reopened. Also, to reach out to your network! Even if you are in business alone; your people, connections and peers are your greatest source of support!”

Anything you want to say to “Women In Business”? Or those that aspire to start a business?

“Planning and getting all your ducks in a row is important, but there comes a time when you just need to go for it and open business! I waited a while for that "perfect time", realizing that will never truly happen. You need to jump in with both feet and be prepared for things to potentially go slowly in the beginning, but also realize your time/effort will pay off! Also, the more people you can learn from, the better you will be. Having a mentor is invaluable!”

Female Founded Brands Emma Loves:

·         “I love Satya Organics (@satyaorganic). I recommend this product to so many of my patients! It has worked amazingly for them. It is made of just 5 natural ingredients, and the salve works so well for any skin issues (eczema, dryness, itchiness, wound/burn healing).”

·         “A friend of mine owns a jewelry company called Proud Maddison (@proud.maddison). She makes the most exquisite pieces and does amazing custom work! She sources all the stones ethically and makes all the pieces in her own little studio.”

·         “I’d also like to highlight my friend Alanna Molloy from Breathing Room Designs (@breathingroomdesigns). She is helping me with my branding and marketing materials and does such gorgeous work!”
